**Here's the remastered version of The Carter Family's original, "When I'm Gone":**
Yes, it is!
Even before Pitch Perfect 1 was even released in theaters back in 2012, [Landshapes] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landshapes)' band members, Heloise Tunstall-Behrens and Luisa Gerstein, were the FIRST ones to actually perform the "Cups (You're Gonna Miss Me)" song, live and acoustic at Northampton Square, London in 2009!
Then came 2011 when the then Swedish trio (now duo), [Erato] (http://www.musicbyerato.com/#!about/c1p00), covered Swedish singer [Robyn] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robyn)'s song "Call Your Girlfriend" — not using cups, but butter tubs (!) — and it went viral ever since!
So, when Emma Stone got invited as a guest yesterday on the show, [Maya & Marty] (http://www.nbc.com/maya-and-marty), Maya Rudolph (out of her secret obsession with Erato's Call Your Girlfriend cover since 2011) took the chance to duet with Stone!
"I saw this thing on YouTube a couple years ago of these three girls in their kitchen in Sweden singing a song playing butter tubs just like these and I've been practicing ever since. I feel like I'm finally ready to give it a shot," Rudolph said, according to [Billboard] (http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/7438143/watch-emma-stone-maya-rudolph-butter-tub-cover-robyn-call-your-girlfriend).
"**No pressure, just two gals hanging out with butter tubs**," added Rudolph. To which Stone agreed then joked, "**Ladies and their tubs**".

Stone and Rudolph sang Erato's version live on the season finale of NBC's variety series — which basically wowed everyone!
Today, their video got **1.8 million views** and **3,277 shares** on Facebook!
